Relevant log excerpt:

    Setting up rott (1.0+dfsg-2) ...
    Gtk-WARNING **: Theme directory 256x256/emblems of theme Industrial has no size field
    dpkg: error processing rott (--configure):
     subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1

If the Gtk-WARNING has been caused by something in rott's postinst script, that is interesting.

What is your debconf frontend setting set to? find out via

    $ debconf-show debconf | grep frontend
      debconf/frontend: Dialog

It looks to me like you have it set to one of the X-powered front ends (either Gnome or Kde) and it was unable to write to your display, but I'm half-guessing.

Can you try (via a console, as root)

    dpkg-reconfigure rott

?
